So since it’s a 25g tank I’ve added all live sand, two 20lbs bags of nature’s ocean bio active live aragonite reef sand. I’ve also used the natures ocean live seawater to fill the tank. I’ve added Fritz Tirbo Start 900 and a day later Microbacter XLM ( for bacterial diversity ) and about 15lbs of dead live rock from a older tank it was thoroughly washed ( it was dry but, the porosity and beauty of the rock is to cool). The AIO filter/sump in the back is what came with the tank I did no modifications or additions, the lighting is an AI Prime 16HD Reef. I’m waiting to add the 2 bottles of coralline algae in a bottle with the nitrifying bacteria. I’m thinking of adding some more bacteria for diversity. I tested the water and everything is good as far as the cycle. No ammonia or nitrites. It’s just that my nitrates are at 20ppm. I have 1 Magnificent ( Red ) Firefish, 1 Skunk Cleaner Shrimp, 5 Nassarius Snails and the tiniest little baby Hammer Coral frag that looks very happy and fluffy. The tank has been running for 6 days.

Hey Guys, new member here, just wanting to introduce myself and say Hi. I just recently set up a Waterbox Peninsula Mini 25 and wanted to share my experiences with like minded hobbyists.

Welcome! Glad you joined.

Have you considered starting your build thread? I found its a great place to document my tank's evolution for myself. I started tank first then joined, so I'm still finding myself going back collecting pictures & updating historically as well as current state. Once you create your first post in your thread and link it to your account, they will give you build badge (look left, under my ID)

This might help you find people local to you:

I decided today to began the journey of coral reefing. I also joined this forum today. I currently have to sell my fresh water tank and purchase a red sea tank. I'll watch for your updates. I have a lot to learn
